animal sacrifices (Eid)

[ladyangevil]

hi

i am writing this with caution as not to offend anyone...not with the intention to change people's views but to inform them...this might be a looong way ago..(well it is..) browsed through iotDs about animal sacrificies...just want to point out that the animal sacrifices for Eid..it does look horribly bloody...i'd puke & faint if i was there..
for those animal lovers out there(i'm an animal lover too..well..cats actually)..you may think this is cruel..it might look like that..however...in Islam...when the animal is being sacrificed...there are "rules" such as the knife used must be really sharp and it must be slaughtered through its neck as to shorten its suffering (it dies instantly)...

the meat are distributed to all...rich,poor,men,women,old,young...

it's just that there are different "versions"/scholars views/practices in the religion...
